Abstract: The title compound, 8,10-dibenzyl-1,4-methanobicyclo[4.3.0][8,10]diazanon-5-ene, C₂₂H₂₄N₂, was obtained through a [4  +  2]-cycloaddition reaction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c (Z = 4). The 1,3-imidazole ring is endo with respect to the norbornylene skeleton. The benzyl protecting groups are situated along the sides of the molecule, towards the back.
